I said it last night and I'll say it again today: not only was his production replaced, he wasn't even missed.

The thing that maybe I’m missing is karlssons wife in the complaint mentioned twice that Hoffmans fiance “uttered” these thing on several occasions. That means someone heard her say it. How are they missing this in every discussion?

The evidence certainly looks damning. But, since it is being handled in court, she should be considered innocent until proven guilty. If things are as obvious as they look we will know in a short amount of time.

Yep. The online stuff should be fairly easy to prove.

You are absolutely right. Claude Giroux finally put up an 8 million dollar point season. It took two or three young players to make up Brayden Schenn 55 to 70 points (depending on which last two seasons you would like to consider) and we made the playoffs on the very last day of the season.

I said it last night and I'll say it again. Someone play the "Everything is awesome" song from the lego movie.

Mind referencing something that this generation can relate to? I had to use an encyclopedia to understand this reference.

I sure hope we can make up for Brandon Manning's point production this coming season. I guess we'll have to talk it over around this time next season.

Hey Scoob just want to point out that Schenn and Simmonds were the only scoring threats last year. So your comment makes no sense. Trading Schenn will haunt this team for the next 10 years as they watch Schenn continue to grow while the draft picks turn out to be nobodies. Who will score of the new group remains to be seen. I hope it is Konecny but if they plan on using Couturier at 2C and on the pp nobody is going to score. I predict Hakstol will be fired by xmas and Hextall to follow. The way I see it this team is self destructing from the worst gm in hockey. Schenn is not replaceable and you will soon see the truth, led the league in pp goals. Looking forward to St. Louis Blues hockey if I want to see a winner. Good luck Flyers you are still my team from despite being a positive person I have bad vibes. If Bernier is the new goalie I will probably vomit. If Weal gets away offense lost, dumb GM

Yep, and not even as a Wildcard, all while using 4 different goalies, and scoring 37 more goals than the previous season.

Thankfully, we don't have any posters with a permanent raging hard on for ManDog they way we do with the Schenn brothers.

Another interesting Q & A from that thread:

What are Detroit going to get in a trade for Mrazek?
- Feanor


Maybe a 3rd or 4th rounder or low level prospect?

Since Giroux was previously on this team and is not an actual winger, those goals are automatically discounted towards making Schenn’s production up.

Tomahawk did pretty well here. His list of guys were up 30 goals overall.

Read - down 9 goals
Raffl - up 5 goals
Weise - down 4 goals
Filppula - down 1 goal
Ghost - up 6 goals
Konecny - up 13 goals
Giroux - up 20 goals

And they improved by 37 goals overall.

Who said it was only up to 1 player to offset those goals?

More quality depth and a better ES possession game will make it likelier that guys like Read, Raffl, Weise, Filppula, Ghost and Konecny will be able to improve on their paltry goal totals from last season. Claude is due for an increase too.

That could offset all 25 of Schenn's goals before we even add any rookies to the equation.

I don't see this team taking a step back in scoring. I see them staying the same, with a chance to improve on last year.

They scored 37 more goals and had a higher PP%. What other area(s) would Schenn have had an effect? They more than replaced his scoring and PP output.

His physical play was not replaced by the forwards. That's about it.
